Action comedy starring Martin Lawrence and Tim Robbins. Shattered by his wife's suspected adultery, LA executive Nick Beam's day is made complete when he's carjacked. However, the thief then finds himself at the mercy of a man with nothing to lose and so begins a crazy jaunt across America for the mismatched pair.
After making such heavyweight message films as The Shawshank Redemption and Dead Man Walking, Tim Robbins took a comic breather in this glossy but empty-headed buddy movie. He plays a stressed-out executive, who thinks his wife (Kelly Preston) is having an affair with his boss (Michael McKean). Seeking revenge, he finds an unlikely ally in petty thief Martin Lawrence - after he makes the mistake of trying to carjack Robbins. The two stars do their best with the comic crumbs they are handed, but both they and writer/director Steve Oedekerk are hampered by the fact that this is an action comedy where nothing really happens.
